Xbox may have just signaled the future of its next generation hardware.
At GDC this week Microsoft confirmed Project Helix, a next-generation Xbox initiative built around a custom AMD chip and designed to support both console and PC gaming. But what exactly is Helix — a traditional console successor or something closer to a living-room gaming PC?
This week on Xbox Expansion Pass, Luke Lohr (InsipidGhost) and Captain Logun break down everything currently confirmed about Project Helix and what it could mean for the future of the Xbox ecosystem.
We also analyze the early player numbers behind Bungie’s Marathon, including Steam concurrency and early ownership estimates, and discuss whether the launch trajectory raises questions for Sony’s live-service strategy.
Plus, Epic Games is changing Fortnite’s V-Bucks economy, meaning players will soon receive fewer V-Bucks for the same money.
Additional topics include Xbox Gaming Copilot coming to consoles, a major milestone for Silent Hill 2 Remake, and several notable announcements coming out of GDC 2026.
👉 Clear takes. No console-war noise.
